From The Publisher* | From #1 New York Times bestselling author, legendary storyteller, and master of short fiction Stephen King comes an extraordinary collection of four new and compelling novellas-Mr. Harrigan's Phone, The Life of Chuck, Rat, and the title story If It Bleeds-each pulling you into intriguing and frightening places. The novella is a form King has returned to over and over again in the course of his amazing career, and many have been made into iconic films, including "The Body" (Stand By Me) and "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" (Shawshank Redemption). Like Four Past Midnight, Different Seasons, and most recently Full Dark, No Stars, If It Bleeds is a uniquely satisfying collection of longer short fiction by an incomparably gifted writer. |
Review Quote* | Praise for The Outsider: "A juicy tale that plays at the forefront of our current phobias... [The Outsider] will remind readers of King's early novel It." - Kirkus Reviews |
Review Quote* | "What begins as a manhunt for an unlikely doppelgänger takes an uncanny turn into the supernatural. King's skillful use of criminal forensics helps to ground his tale in a believable clinical reality where the horrors stand out in sharp relief." -Publishers Weekly |
Review Quote* | "Absolutely riveting. . . another shockingly dark book-perfect for longtime fans, of whom there are, well, zillions." -Booklist |
Review Quote* | "There's plenty of shadowy, wormy supernatural goings-on in Stephen King's new novel The Outsider. Yet the most unsettling stuff - that which will leave you uncomfortable when you sit and devour this first-rate read - probes the monstrous side of human nature." -Brian Truitt, USA Today |
Review Quote* | "Do yourself a favor and read the book." -Associated Press |
Review Quote* | "An It for the Trump era…remarkable and deeply pleasurable." -Ryan Vlastelica, The AV Club |
Review Quote* | "Here's to mutant rats in the basement and Mexican myths; here's to the strange and to Stephen King. Still inspiring." -Victor LaValle, New York Times Book Review |
Review Quote* | "King is arguably as much an American icon as the '68 Fastback or a classic red and white Plymouth Fury. All of these glories are on full display in his latest mystery-horror hybrid...you're in for one hell of a ride." -Karin Slaughter, The Washington Post |
Review Quote* | "King appears to be on a hot streak, that he extends with The Outsider. Big, complex and inventive, it's a well-honed continuation of his interest in the intersection of crime and horror fiction, demonstrating his consummate skill with both." -Michael Berry, The Portland Press Herald |
